Fireblowing

you should talk about how to use the tourch, how to blow it and how far away it should be. also when people set fire to the hand and blow, say that blowing into the hand is a bad move ect ect...I felt this lacks in this thread

Ok, recently a member of homegrown forums got burnt pretty bad dealing with fire. I respect this person and their motives so Im not going to get into it.

Anyways Im posting how to blow fire.

There is no 'safe' way, regardless of how many blows you do,you will still get hurt, at least once.

When I started fireblowing I asked for direction from my elders, people who have been doing fireblowing for years and perfected it into an art form.


I decide to post a FAQ for myself, because many kids are in this orum and last thing I want is someone to do one of my stunts and die. That is counter productive. I do what I do to entertain, not to kill.

Here it is.

WHAT DO YOU USE TO FIREBLOW:

Well basically all I use is Kerosene/Parrafin mix, sold as camping fuel at Walmart, it runs about 5$, its clear and comes in 1L jugs. It tastes like shit and it can cause side efects which arent fun but its the best, burns full and quick.


HOW DO YOU PREPARE?

Best thing is to have water, a towel and blankets ready, fire spreads quickly and can fuck you up bad. Fire is no joke. I know Webby has suffered because of it and I consider that guy a brother overseas, it can happen to anyone.


TECHNIQUE

Basically I started off with a mixture of cooking oil and water, its close to the consistancy of kerosene. Blow hard but make sure it forms a cloud of vapour basically, not a stream. When a stream lights up the flame will travel and burn you good. Practise wherever you can. I dont suggest just going out and trying it because you saw it.


When you are getting ready to do it, start with about an ounce of kerosene, light a torch and blow the kerosene into it, at the same time pull the torch away from your face in a swooping motion. Pull the flame from the torch away from the spray of flammable liquids, last thing you want is a mouth full of flames. ONE WORD OF ADIVCE, DONT BREATHE IN!


Fire is dangerous, its unpredictable, one minute its under control, next min you are in extreme pain.
If anyone comes up to me about fireblowing, I tell them its not worth it, stick with bush hukcs, staples and all that predictable junk. Its not worth hurting you or others over.


HOW DO YOU BLOW SO FAR??

As seen in the new Dan-G mixup (WWW.DANGONLINE.TK), I can blow fire over 20 feet with no prob. It all has to do with lung pressure/ I spat like a mother fuck on those/


HOW DO YOU MAKE DIFFERENT FLAMES?

Well thats all about chemistry. Different compunds added in with whatever you are blowing can create different colours. Lithium, which is a text book cure for manic depression, can be ground up and added to the kerosene to create a bright red flame. Different compunds create diffrents burning temps/colours


Thats all I got for now. Im gonna post a link to good ol EvilWebby's post after his accident. I dont want anyone feeling the pain he does and he deserves the utmost respect.

Me And Marc bopth decided we suck in HTML

Any questions, ask me before doing it. I know I sound elitist but I know ore regarding the subject than any of you .As it stands, I am the HG Guru for fireblowing, I know how it goes. And
I know how it hurts.\

Any questions, ask me.There are no stupid questions. Id rather see a cool stunt than anyone dead.





THIS FAQ IS ON GOING. ASK AND ILL ANSWER. I DONT WANT ANYONE DEAD>

was there really a point in quoting the whole thing?

CustomScar uses rubbing alcohol as well...the strongest you can buy here is 91% and we have had some massive fireballs from it...

a suggestion, when just burning hair, arm, etc....use hand sanitizer...it is 99% rubbing alcohol and burns off really quick...its a safe way to go

Rubbing alcohol leads to some health problem that I can't quit remember right now when blown from the mouth.

But I tried using hand sanitizer and I went straight back to Axe and other spray on deoderents.

Parrafin is the shit.

DR bought white spirit and I burnt my eyelashes and brows blowing into the wind. >_<

what problems did you have out of it?

Tom and Theo use white spirit..but they are now going to use Parrafin...as I showed em this thing written on a forum about the dangers of putting that shit in your mouth.

I use camping fuel, im not sure if that makes it anymore safer

Our company uses Bacardi 151 Does decent fireballs but it also runs 20 dollars a bottle. We blow fires at almost every show/set and its starting to be a financial damager!



here are a few of our pics...







BUY THE DVD NOW!!!! from www.WePlayCrazy.com

haha 20 bucks is a financial damager...

Yeah I see what you mean man, but if I did that over and over it'd really lose the "wow" effect it once had.

I just pour alchohol on my hand and put some in my mouth. Then I light my hand then I make the fire-ball...I haven't fucked up yet. Hopefully I won't.
